Nice pictures! I'm wondering however if it is necessary to lift both sides off the ground at the same time? Would it be feasible to lift one side while keeping the other side on the ground?
No not 100 percent necessary, but lifting one side can put stress on the opposite LG.
I just find it easier to get it up level and solid before starting work.
This is the picture I didn't include.
- That certainly made the difference for a level ride. Good job.
My 2015 trailer came with the CorrectTrack already installed but my tires were rubbing slightly on the underside of my unit so I used the same company to gain 1 inch. In my case the street side is both heavier (when weighed) and sits slightly lower on the street side which has the large kitchen slide, so I added a 1 1/2" block on that side and a 1" block on the curb side and it worked perfectly.
As far as installation, I had all 4 of my tires off anyway since I did this at the same time as converting to disc brakes. minnow wrote:

That is the way I did it. See my posts in this thread.
Barney- Nice pictures! I'm wondering however if it is necessary to lift both sides off the ground at the same time? Would it be feasible to lift one side while keeping the other side on the ground?
- Here are some pictures of my install, cribbing just behind the back axle and landing Gear supplemented with heavy duty jack stands.
I also put all the bronze bushings in a small cooler bag with couple pounds of dry ice, in the freezer overnight made putting them in much easier.

Did you have the blocks made or from some other source?

This company is in Canada, and the quality is outstanding.
Did you do the work yourself? If so can you provide a step-by-step? Did you do just one side of one axle at a time? I may need to do this to mine as well as I've got a new truck on order and it's going to be taller than what my setup is now. Thanks!
I put jack stands, and wood cribbing in front, and behind the wheels on both sides, raising each side a little at a time. The wheels were still barely touching the ground, and I used a floor jack, and 2 more small jack stands to remove the tires, and support the axles. Then did one side at a time before installing any tires. I see now why they charge $500 plus to install this kit.
I agree that some lateral cross members would add strength, and will probably do this. I had Duravis 250's on my last 5er, and my next upgrade will be tires, and maybe wheels. I have not weighed yet, but in the 9K range gross. My last Silverback was 11500k, and this tows much better with an 03 Ram 2500 CCC.N-Trouble wrote:

Looks much more level, great job.
PS, do yourself a favor and replace those tires ASAP. ;)
I know that is the canned answer here on RV.Net.
But the OP has a 2013 Jayco Eagle HT 26.5 RLS. I don't think he is anywhere close to his tire capacity rating.
Shouldn't be a deciding factor to replace those crappy ST China Bombs. I have seen them randomly blow on even much lighter trailers.
Or even on the spare mount, never having ever touched the ground. :-)

I didn't, wish I had, having bent spring hangers fixed next week plus added bracing.
